System: Counterattack from Iron Man

Chapter 385
"Humble post, Fei Jie, see the five masters. I haven't seen you for many years. Your face is still the same, and your demeanor is still the same. I admire you!"

"If it's a compliment, there's no need to say more, you came all the way to this dilapidated place, not just to visit me, right?"

Fei Jie didn't set foot directly in Fan's residence when the sky was just dawn, but came to the Wuzhu Grocery Store which had opened for business early.

For the Inspection Institute, which is full of spies all over the world, the real whereabouts of Wu Zhu and 'Fan Xian' have never been a secret.

It's just that there have been many changes beyond their understanding.
Thinking back to what kind of talented person Ye Qingmei was back then, the Ye's firm he founded was even more involved in business, the daily amount of funds was huge, and the goods sold and traded were all-encompassing, which is rare in the world.

Otherwise, why would Qing, which was weak and poor, suddenly become rich and powerful, and even surpass Qi in terms of military strength?
It's a pity that Ye Qingmei, a generation of geniuses, died in the capital because of a 'difficult childbirth'. The Ye's firm she founded was also nationalized by Emperor Qing, and changed into an 'inner treasury' and handed over to the eldest princess. The profits earned every year , enough to make everyone moved and greedy.

Good times don't last long,
Three years ago, a mysterious organization called "Xinghuofang" began to appear from Danzhou City, said to come from overseas mainland,

Every manager is a young boy, not only the way of management is far beyond ordinary people, even the goods sold are more excellent and exquisite,

In just two years, Xinghuofang's semicolons have spread across all cities, big and small, in the Qing Kingdom.
The income of the internal treasury has plummeted, from tens of millions a year to less than [-] million a year, more than half of it!

Regardless of whether it was the rich merchants and rich merchants in the Qing Kingdom who inquired about it, or the Qing Kingdom Inspection Institute, they still couldn't figure out the details of this 'Xinghuofang'.

Operating legally, paying taxes as usual, plus those young 'shop managers' who are frighteningly powerful,
Even Emperor Qing had to hold back his temper, and he didn't want to rashly use the power of the state to bully a legitimate company in the territory unless he had to, or when he was really threatened!

But tolerance is tolerance,

The preparations that should be made are still indispensable. In addition to sending more intensive and excellent spies to Danzhou, the Inspection Institute hopes to collect useful information.

The three organizers, Fei Jie, entrusted by Chen Pingping and Fan Jian, also came for this purpose. As for coming to teach 'Fan Xian' skills, it was just a random excuse!
"Master Five, you have lived in Danzhou for several years, and you must have the deepest understanding of the forces in the city, as well as that Young Master Fan Xian. I wonder if you can clear up some doubts about the humble position?"

Snapped,
Clasping his fists, the bearded Fei Jie still looked like a slovenly man even though he had changed into a normal suit.
It's just that these are not important to Wu Zhu. He feels the sincerity of the other party, and it's okay to tell Fei Jie some news.

After all, in the past five years, what he has seen about Fan Xian is different from ordinary people, and he really needs someone to help him analyze it. One person counts the disadvantages, and the two count the strengths. Fei Jie can be regarded as someone who can be 'trusted' for the time being. One of your own?

"The Xinghuo workshop you want to ask, I can't help. They have workshops in the valley outside the city, and I can't get in. Those guys and stewards on the port are just ordinary people who don't know anything. They only transport large quantities of goods. Only then will a group of 'guards' with unfathomable strength appear, but I have already tried it, Master Fei, it is best not to try it lightly!"

rustle,

Wuzhu told the information with a blank face, while taking off his shirt,
The lean and solid muscles are like a supernatural workmanship, but on his smooth chest, there is a 'sword wound' with deep bone visible.

hiss~
Who, who can leave a wound on Master Wu Zhu who is comparable to the 'Four Great Masters'?

Could it be that... the 'guards' of Xinghuofang, this is their true strength?
"I can feel that the leader of the team didn't intend to kill me at that time, otherwise, what you see now may be just a remains!"

Forehead.?

Not to kill, but to be merciful, damn it, why is this happening!

"That,"

"As for Fan Xian, huh, since I left the capital, he seems to have awakened some kind of mysterious and terrifying power. I haven't been close to him for a long time. He kneaded it into powder at random, and as his body grew, Fan Xian rarely had close contact with people other than the old lady of the Fan residence. He locked himself in his small yard every day, making all kinds of All kinds of tools and instruments, in short, he is better than Miss!"

Before Fei Jie could ask questions, Wu Zhu had poured beans into the bamboo tube, telling him all the experiences and judgments he had experienced,
I don't know if it is a kind reminder, or is it expressing the incomprehension and confusion in my heart?

"No way, he is a little five-year-old child, and it is possible to be better than that person?"

This..., how is this possible?

"It's not possible. What I'm talking about is that now, Fan Xian has far surpassed the young lady who was at her peak. I suspect him. Forget it. I'm not sure about this, so let's not talk about it!"

Uh.?

The shock in his heart couldn't be overstated, Fei Jie didn't even know how he entered Fan's residence,

Until the porter asked him why he came,

Fei Jiecai cleared his mind, and quickly took out the greeting card from his pocket, as well as the letter from Fan Jian, the Patriarch of the Fan family.

What the Danzhou party saw and heard far exceeded his expectations.
Right now, I just hope that Madam Fan can make it easier so that he can have a reason to stay here in an upright manner.
Or to put it another way, use the intuition and professional judgment of an inspection institute to determine whether there is some kind of connection between 'Xinghuofang' and Fan Xian?

I just hope that Master Wuzhu's hesitant guess is just a groundless guess, not a fact!
"Oh, it turned out to be someone sent by my master, please come in, please come in, I will report to the old lady right away,"

"Hehe, please trouble housekeeper Zhou!"

"Should be, should be, please come with me!"

The butler Zhou in the original plot is domineering, holding a chicken feather as an arrow,
Except for the old lady of Fan's mansion, he can be said to be deceiving, and he doesn't pay attention to anyone, and he beats and scolds servants and maids.

But ever since Luo Wen appeared in Fan's residence, this housekeeper Zhou seemed to be a different person.
Always keep in mind the precept of being low-key and being gentle with others,

At the beginning, my young master's palm was really 'shocking', the whole rockery was smashed into powder, and he was sprinkled all over his body. At that time, Steward Zhou was so frightened that he pissed off.

撕，
Um..,

Frowning slightly, the dignified Mrs. Fan seemed to have some incomprehensible thoughts when she looked at the letter in her hand.
And in the living room at this time, apart from Mrs. Fan who was kneeling, there was also a little maid who was making tea by the side.
The other one was Luo Wen who sat cross-legged quietly. On the desk in front of him, there was nothing but a cup of steaming tea.

In the eyes of Mrs. Fan, this child has been very different since he was a child. He is not noisy, sensible and filial.

Resourceful and resourceful, all kinds of behaviors and actions made everyone in the mansion admire him,

Just like today, Mrs. Fan, who was originally strict, would definitely reprimand her severely if Fan Ruoruo sat in such a casual and unruly manner.
But in Luo Wen's place, she didn't have any intention of blaming him except for her eyes full of kindness and love.

As for little 'Fan Xian' who likes to drink tea made by himself, Mrs. Fan didn't say much, just let it go.

"Mr. Fei, since you are the teacher sent by my son, can I know what the master knows, and how do you plan to teach my family?"

Mrs. Fan suppressed her dislike for the slovenly Fei Jie, but for the sake of the letter he brought from home,
Mrs. Fan's doubts when she read the letter just now was precisely because of this. Didn't she write a letter to tell her son in Jingdu, saying that Xianer has a wide range of knowledge, extraordinary intelligence, and things that people are born with are rare in the world. How about sending him a teacher?
Is it because he doesn't believe what I say as a mother, or does he not believe that Xian'er is so talented that he was born with it?
"Wen Tao Wu Lue, I understand a little bit, I don't know the old lady, think..."

"Grandma, let him stay. Since it's my father's wish, I also have a lot of things. I want to ask Mr. Fei, who came all the way from Kyoto. Oh, no, it should be Mr. Fei, Fan Xian. I was so rude just now, I hope the teacher will not blame me, I will apologize to you here!"

After saying that, Luo Wen really stood up from the cushion, straightened his clothes,
Hug your hands and bow slightly!

"No, no, don't dare, Master Fan Xian is too polite!"

Fei Jie hurriedly jumped aside, but he didn't dare to accept it calmly,

The 'shock' I suffered in the room yesterday hadn't subsided in time, and Wu Zhu said something cautiously early in the morning,

How dare he underestimate the 'children' in front of him!
Besides, although this old Mrs. Fan is the mistress of the Fan residence, the person who is in charge on the surface,

But when it came to Fan Xian, she listened carefully to this little guy's opinion, not just pampering, but showing respect and attention from the bottom of her heart. This, isn't this incredible?

"Oh, since my Xian'er asked Mr. to stay, then Mr. you can stay in Fan Manor, Housekeeper Zhou, go to the west courtyard to arrange a yard for Mr., and then send some servants and maidservants to take care of him!"

Mrs. Fan waved her hand, and began to give orders,
Sure enough, Fei Jie was right. The person who can really call the shots in this family is 'Fan Xian', not Mrs. Fan, the head of the house.
"In that case, Fei would like to thank Mrs. Fan and Master Fan Xian for taking him in!"
